Comfortable Elegance

Who can resist the explosion of fun, happy colors on this straw Kurt Geiger hat? Please put it on my head right now. The subtle shiny green band dresses up the playfully frayed brim. It has a 22" inner circumference, which fits average to small headsizes.

Numerous inner pockets make the soft leather wristlet small but mighty. Thoughtfully designed with elastic ankle strap, the Anne Klein espadrilles have a rubber sole for grip and sound-proofing.

This Eliza J number is the easiest of dressy-looking dresses. I've had this one in the spruce color for some time. It's flattering and comfortable enough to wear all day. I store it rolled up on a shelf because I found that folding it created stubborn creases. In general, I avoid storing knitwear on a hanger since it can cause the garment to stretch out. I also love the dress' removable matching belt, and the thread carriers that prevent it from migrating upward when I pause for a power nap.

Now for some sparkle. These silver-tone Swarovski baubles are quiet luxury incarnate. As a bonus, the metal tone complements the hardware on the wristlet.
